A Quaker did that too, in 1965 at Pentagon Norman Morrison (December 29, 1933 – November 2, 1965) was a Baltimore Quaker best known for his act of self-immolation at age 31 to protest United States involvement in the Vietnam War. The Erie, Pennsylvania-born Morrison graduated from the College of Wooster in 1956. He was married and had two daughters and a son.[1] On November 2, 1965, Morrison doused himself in kerosene and set himself on fire below Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara's Pentagon office.[2] This may have been taken after Thích Quảng Đức and other Buddhist monks, who burned themselves to death to protest the repression committed by the South Vietnam government.[3]

B-Man Posted June 4, 2019 Author Posted June 4, 2019 Ranting Corbyn accuses Trump of ‘creating a sense of hate’ – but tens of thousands of protesters FAIL to show up for demonstration against the US President. As Saul Alinsky said, a tactic that drags on becomes a drag, and all this over-the-top street theater has dragged on and on. It’s boring and predictable. . 2
